Adult Acne
Treatment

According to reports from Dermatologists,
there is currently a tremendous rise of acne flare-ups in women 20 through 50 years of age
who never never had an acne problem in the past. We won't go into detail about the
causes but suffice to say that P.M.S. and stress are two of the most common factors.

After drying out blemishes, skin may
appear satisfactory for a few weeks; but over-drying can cause oil glands to compensate by
working harder, resulting in clogged pores and more "breakouts" 3 to 4 weeks
later. This often causes the user to resort back to drying products, which are causing the
problem. What's more, treating adult acne harshly can create problems like redness or
broken capillaries.

REVIVA'S
DIFFERENT APPROACH ...

Reviva has always promoted a more gentle, "normalizing" approach. We advocate
anti-bacterial cleansing with Camphor Cleansing
Milk (# R153). (These products should be
used instead of the medicated soaps others urge.) For those with acne prone skin, deep
pore cleansing is critical and it's vital to maintain an acid balance; the Camphor Cleansing Milk (#R153) & Lotion (#R154) are necessary to accomplish this.

Supplementary
Cleansing ...EXFOLIATION ... so important!

The importance of proper exfoliation
("peeling") for blemishes cannot be overstated. Each year Dermatologists stress
more strongly the significance of removing sufficient dead, hardened skin cells to aid oil
flow to the surface; and thus avoid blockage of pores.
Hence, our most important cleansing supplement in the blemishes program is Reviva's Light Skin Peel (#R107) is gentle enough for the
most sensitive skins. And besides its enzyme action in digesting dead cells, it aids cell
metabolism.

Day & Night Treatment...

IN THE MORNING, We
recommend protecting your skin as well as helping to balance the oily condition with
Reviva's Oily Skin Moisturizing Gel (#R210). However,
if skin is seriously congested and blemished, you should use GlycolicAcid
Oily Skin Gel (#G209).
To hide - as well as - treat the blemishes, Reviva offers More Than a Cover UpCream (#R833). It is a truly remarkable acne fighting
product (in a neutral shade) that can help skin look flawless. Those with darker skin
tones should apply your regular shade of sheer liquid foundation over the cream.
